I saw Selma's card on Joan's Garden blog this morning and realized I could case this with all my new die cuts from there and Sweet stamps. Both sites carry the Marianne and Cheery Lynn dies. The cards on the blogs from the designers are always gorgeous and a treat for your eyes. I used Marianne cut and emboss for the main panel, ribbon die cut for the left side, lattice for the center after I cut around the embossed images, Some prima flowers, MS butterfly punch, I hand colored the ribbon and it really does match. The checked or plaid paper is from Crafty Secrets and I'm using this for their challenge on Split Coast also.

Our challenge at Flourishes this week is to use brown bag paper. I didn't have any of that but I did have several shades of brown paper. This cute new image is from this months release from Flourishes Colored with copics. I added the outer circle with a Marianne die,from Sweet Stamps. The fence, grass and flourish are Cheery Lynn designs. Martha Stewart butterflies were cut on paper that I sprayed with ink and water and crumbled up.

I cut out the top piece and popped it also. Marianne designable cut and emboss folder and some ribbon and a peel off thank you and glittered butterflies strip from Michaels finish the card.

Our challenge this week at Creative Belli is to do something with the letter "G". I chose glitter of course, I just picked this gorgeous glittered paper up at Hobby Lobby yesterday and had to find a use for it. The beautiful dove is part of the new wedding collection from Heartfelt Creations. I got the whole collection from Joan's Garden. The beautiful die cut is a Marianne from Joan's Garden as well. I stamped on vellum, colored the back side with memento markers and added glue and glitter to the back side as well. Butterflies are a MS punch and the sentiment is from Just Rite stamps.
